HE most absorbing ques
tion in national politics
today is that pertaining
to the next republican candi
date for president. It is a
matter that is wholly in the air
at this time and the most recent
feature of the situation consists
in talk of Roosevelt as the re
publican nominee.
Discussing the rumor that
the Chicago convention next
summer may name Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, the
Springfield Republican says:
"The professional forecast
ers are growing terribly rest
less because they cannot see
anything in the shape of a
candidate of the right latitude
and longitude coming down the
pike. A big man is needed but
where is he? Run over the
list of republicans usually
mentioned and the bottom
seems to drop out when each
name is called. It is not neces
sary to emphasize the fact that
titi f u u tf i the reallv big republicans, like
HILE the city officials Root are
W .absolutely right in whoUy unavailabie, and that
tiiiK Vh, v,m.uw smaUer candidates )00k
like one mouthful, at this date,
lor President Wilson. Justice
Hughes is not included in the
ist because of his positive re
fusal to run."
"We can merely record our
impression at this time con
cerning the significance of the
current Roosevelt talk. One
must assume the bankruptcy
of the republican party, in the
first place, if it must now nom
inate for president the man

Spokane received brief

there was nothing but optimism i s

true of Pendleton. In fact the

PARIS, Jan. 3 "What effect will
the war have on the theater?" I put
this miestion to M. Lugne Poe, one of
Europe's brightest dramatic lights,
playwright, actor and producer. Said
he:
"The most far-reaching imaginable.

other nations copy after? Bulgaria.
'Sounds paradoxical, but I mean it.
Were the I'nited States alone to cops
Bulgaria's attitude as regards the
stage, the world generally would be
better off. We'd get more classics
and less clap-trap. Bulgaria had a
strict renBorship on imported plays.
Plays which were merely sensatlona..
or appealed to the mob only because
of some rich and racy situation, were
pitilessly barred. Few French plays.

Bulgaria, being a small Country, nat

but such a country as yours undoubt

"And how will the war chanee
thing??" I wanted to know.
"Simply by blasting us tjut of ihe
rut Into which we had fallen Wo
had gotten so in the habit of wrltln
frivolous plays that we Just drifted
along too busy to think of a change.
For more than a year theatrical
France has ceased to exist. When
the war is over and the playhouses
reopen. I look for a new school of
playwrights, new Ideas and more se
rious plays. This will almost Inevit
ably be the case; one can not return
from the battlefront wliere he liven

and write the same petty drivel, one's
thoughts will run to higher, broader,

I j suggested.

E feel sure that Pendleton advertisers will be interested m know
ing that the "Pendleton Eat Oregonian" has been selected as
one of Newspaperdom's "Winning Dailies" and that the selection
was made after studying the features which we believe entitled it to
this distinction. The following reasons formed the basis of our judg
ment in the matter:
FIRST We selected the "East Oregonian" a our "Win
ning Daily" in Pendleton because of the general ex
cellence of the "East Oregonian" in news and edi
torial make-up and efficiency.
SECOND Because it has the largest circulation, and be
cause it has a gilt-edged volume of advertising. Be
ing an evening newspaper in a field where an even
ing daily is widely demanded, its circulation must
necessarily represent the purchasing power of the
people of Pendleton, and the territory of which the
city is essentially the ready market place.
THIRD Because of the typographical appearance of
the advertisements and the care which is evidently
taken in the matter of make-up and position.
FOURTH Because of the carefully planned and main
tained circulation distribution facilities and continu
ous effort to have the "East Oregonian" placed in
the hands of its readers at the earliest possible mo
ment and yet carrying the latest and most import
ant news.
FIFTH Because the "Pendleton East Oregonian" is in
all intents and purposes a real "home" newspaper,
appealing directly not only to men but to the women
of the household, who do eighty per cent of the pur
chasing of family requirements.
SIXTH Because the "East Oregonian" is recognized by
men and women in all paths of life as the standard,
competent newspaper of its field.
Newspaperdom congratulates the management of the "Pendleton
.East Oregonian" upon the fact that the "East Oregonian" is justly en
titled to the honor we have given it of being one of Newspaperdom's
"Winning Dailies." Less than two hundred newspapers in the United
States have been given this classification, according to the acid test
applied before making our final decision.
